What do I need when I go to vote?

In order to vote, you must first be on the List of Electors. If you did not register online ahead of the election or if you did not receive a voter information card, you will have to register at the polling place.

You can still vote if you haven’t pre-registered, it will just take a few minutes more as You will need to complete a declaration and provide authorized identification, like a drivers license.

“If you are not on the list of electors, you must provide identification proving your name and address to register. You can provide one piece of government-issued ID containing your photograph, your name, and current address (such as your Drivers Licence or Alberta Identification Card)” Elections Alberta explains on its website.

“Or, if you cannot provide government-issued ID, you must provide two pieces of authorized ID. Both must have your name. One must have your current physical address.”

A complete list of acceptable forms of identification can be found by clicking HERE.
